Steadily increasing.

Originally, Mandrake was a lightly modified Red Hat Linux.

- Mandrake has headed to their own admin tools, with "dragon-related"
  names.

- RHAT adopted their own "deviant" version of GCC that even their own
  Cygnus division wasn't told about.

- Mandrake is probably the most accepting of both GNOME and KDE of any
  of the distributions.

- Mandrake compiles (more or less) everything with Pentium
  optimizations, which _might_ improve performance a little.
